Back to Scrapping!!

I have finally gotten my laptop back and everything reinstalled so I can start digiscrapping again. It has been a long 6 weeks, thank goodness I was able to get it all done before Season 5 of the Amazing Digiscrapping Race (ADSR5). Alas getting my laptop repaired involved replacing the hard drive. Not thinking when it came time to swap out the hard drive I totally spaced off backing up ACDSee. Which if anyone who has used it knows that I have a ton of tagging to do. You would think that if you take into consideration I have completely retagging/reorganized my digital scrapbooking stuff twice in the past three years that I would remember to run a backup of the database. It just means that I can tweak my “organizing style” and clear out stuff that I’ve never used.

So the first layout I worked on was one using Rebecca Labbe’s Urban Chaos kit which I downloaded mid-November as part of a Creative Team Assignment over at Divine Digital. The Alpha is from her Urban Decay Alpha Set. You get three different alphas in the set.

I’ve got two more assignments in the wings that I’ll try to complete tonight or tomorrow. Of course between working on the CT assignments I’ll be tagging and sorting through over 71 Gigs of digital scrapbooking kits.

It’s Snowing, It’s Snowing, It’s Snowing….

I’m sure that it won’t stick or amount to much by the time it stops but I love it when it snows. Today it’s coming down in big, huge, fluffy flakes or at least it is at this moment. It’s been coming down piddly all morning (so small and light you had to squint to see it) but right before lunchtime….whammo….big flakes.
Of course the kids are all in school today and I’m sure the teachers are hating it because the kids are all antsy to go outside, distracted by the snow and wondering if it is going to still be snowing when school gets out. Since we are a hockey family snow really doesn’t stop us…..it’s kind of like any other winter sport…..if you can’t drive in the snow you shouldn’t play a winter sport.
Well….lunchtime is almost over and I have to go back to work although since we are doing consults all afternoon the snow will probably play havoc with our schedule and everyone will freak out and cancel their consults if it continues to snow.
